Another lie is that the warranted officers did not, “in all instances” follow the FAR and the VAR. Because of timeliness issues the FAR allows for orders over $3,000 to be made without a bidding process. Before the when an order came in to prosthetics from a clinician, the purchasing agent could override the bidding process because time was of the essence, (ie.surgical implants needed for a surgery scheduled the next day.) Now the order goes through a bidding process and sometimes surgeries have been canceled because the contracting officer must follow a rule not designed for a hospital, but for the military.

” The contracting officer sees that we get a fair price… We look at what is the physician’s order, and that is what we buy.” If it is over $3,000 then the order must be sent out for bid and the lowest price oftem times is what is purchased and it may or may not be medically appropriate for the patient. this is what is happening in the real world and not the Lies being told us by governmentr officials.
